Family Party

Because Josh and Coby's birthday's are so close, we had our family party for both of them on the same day. It was fun. We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house and Uncle Chet, Aunt Hailee and Uncle Matthew came too.

Dad and Coby getting ready to blow out their candles.

Coby sitting with Uncle Chet anxiously waiting to open his present.

Kaleb and Talon...always willing to help Josh open his gifts.

Although he looks half asleep...he was really excited about his trucks. :)

Bocce!!!

Josh, the boys and I got Coby a slide for his birthday. He was super excited.

Easter Egg Hunt and Dying Eggs

We've gone to Fountain Green the last couple of years to hunt Easter eggs. The kids really have a good time. The city hides real eggs and they give the kids money for them. They make them pretty easy to find for the little kids so we like it.

Here we are with all of the eggs we found.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house after we hunted eggs to dye some. That's always a fun/messy project. Here is Coby drawing on his egg.

Kaleb, Talon, me and Coby. Hard at work!

Kaleb

Talon...sweet egg! That one looks like it's going to be multi-colored.

The gang...minus Josh. They're almost done!

Happy Birthday Josh!

Josh turned 32 on April 2nd. The kids got him some weights and they were so excited to give them to him. Happy Birthday!

Coby's 2nd Birthday

Coby had his 2nd birthday on March 30th. We had a great time with family, presents, cupcakes and balloons. Happy Birthday Coby!!!

Kaleb and Coby

As part of his birthday from Josh and I, we filled the sandbox with new sand. Kaleb and Talon got him some sand toys. He got a rake and shovel...

...and a box of fun sand toys.

He also got a Lightning McQueen bucket and shovel.

Instead of cake, we had cupcakes with army men on top. Something different and fun! Here are Coby and Grandma...make a wish.

Oh Kaleb

Kaleb is so funny. He loves Batman and especially loves that our neighbor has a lot of Batman attire. Every time he comes home he is wearing something new. This day, he came home with this Batman mask on. I about died. It is so small, it barely fits on his head and to see, he has to turn his head sideways because the piece between his eyes blocks the view. He cracks me up!!

Kaleb and me. You can hardly see his eyes peeking out from behind the mask.

Baby Lambs

Josh's Dad's ewes have been lambing and in the last week they've had 3 sets of twins and a single baby. The kids are super excited! We hurried up there yesterday to see if we could watch one be born, but we were too late. So, Grandpa promised the kids that they could hold the lambs today. They were so cute and love those little lambs so much.

Me...I'm a sucker for a cute baby animal.

Coby, lovin' it.

Kaleb...he was the most excited. He wasn't going to let Grandpa forget that he told the kids they could hold the lambs.

Talon...a natural, just like his Grandpa.

I love this picture of Josh and Coby. It looks like the lamb and Coby are looking at each other. Too cute!

Our House

I wanted to post some pictures of our house now that I've had a chance to really decorate (all but Coby's room). We have LOVED our house so far, and since we built it, we appreciate it that much more.

Laundry Room

Kitchen...this window looks out to the East. It gets GREAT morning sun!

Looking through the dining room to the kitchen.

Living Room and plant shelf (which I love).

Another view of our bedroom and our SWEET bed that my dad made.

Snowboarding

Our neighbors have a couple $2 plastic snowboards that Talon has fallen in love with, and our other neighbors have the perfect "little" snowboarding hill. Tal goes out and straps that snowboard on and heads down the hill without a second thought. He loves it, and is getting pretty good at it too!

Look at that future Olympian!

Kaleb's First Day of School

Talon's teacher changed pre-school this semester to the afternoon and when she did, she had a few kids drop out of the 3 year old class. That left a spot open for Kaleb. He goes 2 days a week and is loving it. He just turned 3 so he really doesn't NEED to be there, but I thought it would be fun for him. There are a couple days a month that she combines the classes and when she does, Kaleb and Talon get to go together. They really like that. He is doing well, learning his letters and their sounds, his numbers, and can almost write his name. Way to go Kaleb!!

So excited to go to school!

Brothers

Kaleb and Talon playing their Leapsters together. Too cute!
